Glad to hear Aldi is going well Meena! How's the cold coming along? Hope you're feeling better! :beer:

Hi Vegainer, I was out of action totally yesterday due to the cold/flu getting a grip on me , but the rest did me good as today i was feeling better and had a productive day. my item sold on ebay for £37 ! so that was great and i got out to post it today, went out for a coffee which was free as had a voucher and put my christmas money into my savings account , im going to get a few more things listed on ebay

hope all is well with you

Get well soon Meena! I recommend lemon, honey and ginger tea and wish you a speedy recovery.

Congrats on your Ebay sales and on securing extra work in January 2018. Great to read about your progress.

MeenaM

Thanks Bunny! yes i have been having hot water with a slice of lemon in , makes me feel better for sure.

I have paid off another £29 to the AA today and am still on course for another £165 but holding back atm to see how the rest of the month pans out , have also cancelled my hair appointment for next week as that would have been £60 and it can wait another few weeks until after next pay day.

Happy New Year MeenaM! Wishing you all the best in 2018!

You are flying! Happy new year x

MeenaM

Thank you both!

I have been listening to Dave Ramsey podcasts today ,

i have an outgoing of £25 that will end in Feb and i am wondering whether to pay it to debt or add it to the £25 i put into my daughter's child trust fund? i know really i should put it to the debt and once that is paid add it to the trust fund, , i guess i just answered my own question there lol

ive made lunch for DH and me for work tomorrow,

friend has contacted me to have a drink out next week , this is going to have to come out of the hair budget as i was due to spend £60 on that but that has been cancelled, i will only have a soft drink as i am going to have a dry January and hope to extend it to the rest of the year

MeenaM

back to work today , took lunch and have made lunch ready for tomorrow

it seems a long wait until pay day

bit irritated tonight when DH stopped off at the local shop to get flavoured water spending . 3.70 on 3 bottles when we could have got 10 for that price from Aldi !

I keep checking and rechecking my bank account each day , is this normal?!
